I used to use SmartThings up until the announcement killing off WebCORE. I well fully into Home Assistant using Zigbee and ZWave both. HIGHLY recommend it, though there is work to set it up.
I use quite a bit of NodeRed as well for some of my more complex automations, and use the native HA automations for things like button mappings or simple scripts.
Did something change recently with Home Assistant and Node Red? I upgraded and suddenly 20+ issues with messages like “Entity ID ‘switch.main_lights’ should be in the data.property, not the target property”

Lots of his stories feel like he got bored, and just wrapped it all up without much actual closure. Feels very rushed. Under the Dome was a clear example of this for me.
Any chance we can have an option in the various swipe gestures to collapse a comment chain up to the parent? I loved this feature in Apollo. Right now, tapping a comment collapses just that comment, but not sure how to collapse up.

Are you looking for integrations or front-end/GUI recommendations? HACS is great for both!

It’s easier for me to control my Sonos devices through Home Assistant and dashboards I’ve created, rather than using the Sonos app itself. It’s like they hired some McKinsey consultants to make the app as useless as it can be.

I think as long as the model you are looking for supports Z-Wave, you’re good.

I have Schlage locks integrated via Z-Wave. All local, can poll for battery levels, supports physical key unlocks ( and can differentiate logging events between key, code, and HA service unlocks)
I’m happy with the capabilities.

On iOS you may need to allow HA to constantly track your location. I’ve done a decent amount of testing with zones and it seems to work well. I used some temp Node Red logic to send a push notification as I entered/left zones and it was pretty accurate.

3D printing is half the fun! Although I have no skills in design so I usually look for STLs that other have created. The NFC tag reader was such a fun project because I got to: 3D print the enclosure, solder the wiring for the ESP and NFC hardware, write the login within Node Red to work as a juke box, and then I wrote an excel file that I use to track my playlists (allows me to copy/paste the Spotify share link and have it translate it into an NFC tag payload).

Do you use Plex at all? One fun integration is to turn the lights off automatically when something starts to play, then turn them back on when paused/stopped. It’s fun to see the lights auto-dim as media starts to play.

What does your logic look like for the humidity uptick? I tried the trending integration (or something like that), but couldn’t get it to work properly. Does the fan trigger on a sudden spike in humidity? Do you compare “ baseline” values with another sensor in another room?

I use mine for a jukebox with various playlists. Allows anyone in the house to scan a tag. You can also have them do anything a button can do (run a script, turn on/off devices, etc.

Oh sorry, I meant that with an nfc tag reader you don’t need the smart phone. Apologies that I wasn’t clear.

I started to play around with WLED and integrated a whole mess of LED lights to HA. I’d also recommend ESPHome so you can build your own devices. Voice control, water flow rate sensors, etc.

Not if you build an NFC tag reader! Then anyone can scan tags! Great for music jukeboxes!

PiHole, Plex and the related “*arr” apps. I also self-host my home automation platform (Home Assistant).

If you also enjoy 3D printing, there’s a fun project to make an NFC tag reader with ESPHome. I use it for a jukebox where my playlists are NFC chips with the corresponding Spotify URLs. It lets anyone in the house tap a playlist to play. Much easier than having to get your phone out, and it’s reminiscent of flipping through CDs back in the day.

It’s certainly a problem the US government cares about when dealing with a hostile nation (from the US perspective).

I mean, of course there’s loaded language in all this. Are you also surprised at the language and rhetoric used by Chinese government and media sources when they talk about the US?

The deleting local databases seemed to do the trick. I had tried logging out, restarting the app, etc., but none of that had worked.
Thanks!
For some reason, my app can’t seem to handle logins correctly. I am able to log in ok, but the account management page never shows the login, which means I can see my inbox, etc. I haven’t tried completely deleting and reinstalling yet, but I have tried to log in several times with no change in app behavior.
Is there an easy way to hide read posts? Ideally something like the feature in Thunder that lets you auto filter out any of the read posts. Edit: on a related note, I’d love to see a swipe gesture option of “Mark as Read”.
Performance could certainly be better, but it’s good to be playing this game! Can’t wait to see the performance improvements and mod support coming soon. I will say it is amusing to see the meltdown of so many people reviewing it on Steam. I’m just hoping to get more traffic! My city isn’t too big yet, but I’m looking forward to the puzzle of improving efficiency, especially since I’m nowhere near a pro in street designs.
Perhaps I’m missing the option, but is there a way to block/filter entire instances? Thanks.

New Humble Bundle looks great for anyone still looking to pick up some DLCs. At quick glance, any of the major DLCs missing? I'm not up to speed on them all, but it does look like some aren't in the pack. Edit: Looks like several DLCs are missing including Sunset Harbot, Park Life, and some others.
Is there an easy way to search within a community from the community itself? (Similar to how Apollo had a search box at the top of the community post list) I couldn’t see it unless I completely overlooked something.
For some reason my inbox items keep showing replies to my earlier posts as unread even though I’ve read them (and even clicked on them to go back to the actual comments). As a result, I have the little red dot on the Inbox icon. Am I doing something wrong?
Ideally allowing the opening of links to other Lemmy instances or communities in the app itself versus opening it as a standard web page. Perhaps by recognizing the FQDN being linked or the URL format? I assume this is how the Lemmy linking bot works. Apologies if I missed this idea in another post.
